"Grandpa, let me go." Zhang Yu was still a little worried and wanted to go.
"No, just sit there and be obedient. I'll go out for a while and I'll be back in a while. Don't worry." Guan Zhiliang knew what he was worried about, and waved his hand to indicate that he should continue sitting, and then walked out of the room.
Half an hour later, Guan Zhiliang came back with the food box. Looking at the obviously heavy food box, Zhang Yu quickly got up to pick it up. This time, the old butler did not refuse, but handed the food box to his hand.
Then he sighed helplessly: "Oh! I'm getting old, and I can't bear to accept it anymore. I'm exhausted from carrying such a small amount of things. When I was young, I could walk a long way carrying 200 kilograms of things.
Road without a drop of sweat."
"Grandpa Guan, you are in good health, but these things are a little heavy." Zhang Yu quickly comforted him.
"You're old, you're old. This person has to accept his old age. Come on, let's eat. It will get cold in a while." As the old housekeeper said this, he and Zhang Yu took out all the dishes and placed them on the table.
Zhang Yu looked at the dishes in front of him. It was rare to eat them in normal years, let alone now. I don’t know how Grandpa prepared this table of food.
"Eat, come and eat. Try it. This is Xiangyun's specialty. Try it. How does it taste?" The old butler gave Zhang Yu a quick dish.
"It's delicious!" Zhang Yu took a bite and was a little surprised to find that the taste was really good, ranking among the top three things he had eaten in the past. But who is Xiangyun? How come he hasn't heard of it?
Perhaps seeing Zhang Yu's curiosity, the old housekeeper explained: "Xiangyun was the person who took care of the eldest lady when she was in Xie Mansion, and she is a little younger than me.
She was also a poor person. She was engaged before entering the house, but the man went fishing in the river in the middle of the winter for his mother, and never came back.
The man's family actually blamed Xiangyun for the man's death, saying that she was his wife and wanted her to marry to a memorial tablet.
Of course Xiangyun's parents were not willing to do this, but the family was capable of using any deceitful means to do so. They forced her parents to sign a deed of betrayal for Xiangyun, and let Xiangyun work as a servant in another house.
Keep the fragrance cloud.
After arriving at Xie's house, Xiangyun was assigned by the old lady to the eldest daughter, who was responsible for the eldest daughter's daily life. After the eldest daughter went to school, Xiangyun started to learn cooking skills in the kitchen.
Because of some things, Xiangyun no longer had the intention to remarry, and she remained single. After leaving the Xie family, because her parents had passed away, and the brothers got along less because of so many years of separation, their feelings for each other were natural.
I feel a lot less depressed, and secondly, I have my own little family, and I have a lot to think about.
Xiangyun is a smart person. Within a few days, she realized that her brothers had never cared about whether she was living well in the Xie family. They just wanted to ask her in a roundabout way how much money she had brought back, and finally asked her to give the money.
Take it out and build a house for her, and when she gets old, her nephew can break pots for her.
He kept telling her that she should give everything to her nephew, otherwise there would be no one to support her when she gets old. Several brothers had several quarrels over the money in her hands, fearing that other brothers would take advantage.
He even heard one time that his eldest brother and his wife were discussing how to marry her off after squeezing all the money out of her hands.
You must know that she was already over 40 years old at that time and could no longer have children. Her brother and sister-in-law's so-called finding a good family for her was nothing more than a middle-aged man who lost his wife.
Be a cow and a horse.
Her heart suddenly became cold. During that period of time when she was at home, she spent a lot of money on her nephews and them, but in the end, this was the result. She left the next day and bought a small house near me." Listen.
When the old housekeeper said this, Zhang Yu suddenly felt that he was particularly different from Xiangyun.
"So how is she doing now?"
"She lives on the street in front now."
"Then why don't you ask her to come over and have dinner with her? It's a rare occasion for me to come over and let's have a meal together."
"Okay, let him see the young lady's child, and I'll call her." The old housekeeper agreed without thinking.
"I'll go, I'll go. Grandpa Guan, just tell me the address. I'll bring her over to you intact." Zhang Yu said something a little out of the ordinary tentatively.
"You kid, Xiangyun is waiting on the street in front, and the second house is her home." The old housekeeper's face turned slightly red, but he did not say anything to refute.
Zhang Yu looked at his slightly red ears and thought in his heart. It seemed that the old housekeeper didn't have any special feelings for her. Knowing this would make things easier.
After Zhang Yu learned about the old housekeeper's past, he always wanted to do something for him. Although his home was not very far from here, he didn't come there too many times. Seeing him alone made people feel very sad.
Fall forbearance.
Since the old housekeeper has some interest in Xiangyun, and she is single, I wonder if it is possible for him to facilitate the relationship between the two of them.
"Okay, Grandpa Butler, just wait. I will bring the person to you intact in a moment." Zhang Yu continued to test. He wanted to know whether the old steward would exclude Xiangyun from entering.
his life.
The old housekeeper didn't speak any more. Just looking at his ears that turned redder, Zhang Yu already knew his answer.
He came to the address mentioned by the old butler and looked at the door. It was basically the same as the old butler's.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone home?" Zhang Yu knocked on the door, and within a minute a woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties opened the door for him.
The man glanced at him and said in surprise: "It's Master Sun, come in quickly."
"Are you the Grandma Xiangyun that Grandpa Guan mentioned?" Zhang Yu said hesitantly. She really didn't look like an old man in her 60s.
"It's me, it's me. Zhiliang just told me that this lady's child is here. Come in and sit down and have a glass of water."
"Then you look so young. I thought you were only in your 40s. I didn't dare to recognize you." Zhang Yu said with a smile.
"You kid, you have such a sweet mouth. You are all over 60 years old, so how can you compare with young people?" Xiangyun was amused by Zhang Yu's words. No matter how old a woman is, she also likes people.
Say she is beautiful and like people to say she is young.
"I came here to invite you to dinner." Zhang Yu stated his intention.
"Okay, then you wait for me to close the door and I'll go over right away." Xiangyun agreed happily, turned around and locked the door.

On the way there, Zhang Yu kept testing what she meant to Guan Zhiliang and whether she had any other ideas.
